The MP had requested an update on the situation, including how the developers plan to resolve the issue and when work will resume but neither company provided any information, simply stating they were working on the issue.

Dr Lee said: "My office have spoken with the managing director of Persimmon Homes in the Thames Valley.

"Having attempted to contact him on numerous occasions over the past two weeks, we eventually received a response and were told that Persimmon Homes are not able to provide any detailed information at this stage, but are working through the issues that are causing the delays.

"I have requested a meeting as soon as possible with Persimmon Homes and have written to the chief executive, stating my concern at the lack of communication and seeking a swift resolution."
